Hi Everyone, This is Emma again. While I don't actively work on the Copeland surname I decided to check my database and see what I found. Well.. I do search the Hightower surname and found that Lucinda Melvina Talburt, a Hightower descendant married Thomas Jefferson Copeland. Thomas Jefferson Copeland was born 16 May 1857 in Phelps Co., Mo and d. 25 Jan 1942 in Fulton Co., Mo. married Lucinda Melvina Talburt - b. 15 Oct 1862 Baxter Co., Ark and d. 22 June 1952 Kern Co., California. The children that I know of so far are: Charlie Albert - abt 1883 Virgil - abt 1886 Jesse Albert - 26 Dec 1889 Randolph - 16 Apr 1892 Allen David - 25 June 1894 Jennetta Mae - abt 1898 Cary Ruth - 20 July 1901 Rena Hortense - 30 July 1901 I have a little bit on this family. Take care - Emma
